The Road Trip

The documentary-style film Will and Harper’s official synopsis stated by Netflix is, ”

“Two years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: His dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman. That friend was Harper Steele… In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves—this time, as herself… Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces and to each other in this new light.”

A modern real-life story through the raw perspective of a documentary allows audiences to see the journey of Harper Steele after her transformation. Everything from her emotions to how her friends view and treat her is portrayed throughout the film, along with many questions being answered about the transition. Will Farrell’s genuine love for his friend and his natural ability to make people laugh allow fans to speculate that this fill won’t ram an agenda through their throats; they are simply showing you the truth without smoke and mirrors.

Audience Reactions

Netflix released its trailer on September 5th, 2024, and audiences have a lot they want to say about it. One Twitter user named Nerd Girl said it is a relief that Will Ferrell decided to educate himself and others while supporting his friend Harper after she came out. She continued stating that Will Ferrell’s actions put other comedians to shame. After only four hours, the trailer had garnered over 1.5 million views and over ten thousand likes. The film will ultimately live on Netflix; however, it will be in theaters on September 27th, 2024, so fans and audiences can get the full effect of the movie.

Overall, the film received a ton of positive feedback from Sundance Film Festival audiences, and the same is to be expected when the film is released in theaters and streams.

Audience members feel suffocated when the ideologies are being forced upon them; however, that makes this film so amazing. It doesn’t do that.
